I realized today (August 2nd) that we were hoping to be in this house by now. 2 months ago. I am already trying to pack up boxes to get ready to move. And we're still at least 2+ months away....
Not a whole lot more has been done since this picture was taken last week, but it is ready for a roof and all the outside stuff (shingles, siding, stone), and all the inside stuff (windows, plumbing, electrical stuff, etc). Our builder says the drywall should be up by the end of this month...
It doesn't help my wanting to get into the house that our landlord decided they want to get our rental house listed for sale again. I did some boxing up of some things that we should not need until we move and really felt like I wanted to get going on the moving process. Of course, I've felt like I could move right after we got to this place...
So the lesson I need to learn is patience. I am constantly thinking about all the things that are going to need to happen after we get into the house. And I know that I am going to have a baby November 12th, if not before. sigh...
I have been reassured by a few people that things will be fine, so I am trying to be more helpful with the things that need done NOW instead of wasting my energy on things I can't control in the future. Who knows- we may be pleasantly surprised at how fast things go the next 2 months. I'm not counting on it, but we don't know!
In the meantime we will be distracted by convention, soccer, school, Adrian's birthday, and whatever else comes up! Oh, I suppose we'll be distracted by the work we need to do on the house, too!
Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting. ~Joyce Meyer
